At the point when you make social change, it’s never going to be simple. We saw that the entire summer. We tune in to individuals; there were many individuals who attempted to defend what they have confidence in and weren’t genuinely heard. These are troublesome discussions that won’t disappear, regardless of whether we play the public hymn. We’re simply happy we’re having this discussion out of decision, not as a result of some misfortune that touched off the discussion.”
